Just purchased a Raspberry PI 3 B+.
Installed https://pi-hole.net, http://pivpn.io and cups printer server. Just out the window with the old macmini.
Anyother using it for servers?

Can you go into more detail about what your uses are?
As sort of a cloud-native child I'm always looking for use cases and have very little creativity in this regard. Even mundane uses are interesting!
I have hadan old outdated Macmini used as a git (gitea) server, timemachine server, HomeAssistant (work in progress - still need a lot of gadgets), printer server, and media server.
And after i found pi-hole ads removal, i got my mind aoudn the RaspberryPI, which i didn't know before. And i love everything about the linux system, so easy for servers.
So i installed it with the Pi-hole and made it my internal DNS / DHCP server - no more ads. AFter that i installed it as a printer server (have my own little company at home, so my office is here) And when i get a few hours for that, i will set it up as a timemaschine backup server as well.
And best of all, it's as tiny as a VISA card, and with 1 gb ram and quad core.
PiHole, It's really useful ! 🙌
I'm w/ @benhalpern - I struggle with practical applications, although at present I'm trying to recycle a Samsung Note 3 into a Linux system (very slow going)because of all the built-in sensors. But I don't have a use case other than a home monitor of sorts. I'd like to hear your plans as well
